One week from today, hopefully you'll be grubbing on a feast, but until then, we still have some great music lined up that should make you thankful. At the House of Blues on Thursday, prepare for Bro-Hymn Nation as Pennywise returnto town, or if reggae is your jam, Pali Roots play reggae Thursdays at The Holding Company, the new club that took over where Gallagher's in OB left off. Elsewhere, Veronica May & the To Do List are at the Belly Up, and Todos Tus Muertos bring some Latin spice to Music Box. The special show of the night, however, is singer/songwriter David Ramirez, who checks in to the Casbah. He's calling this slate of shows the Bootleg Tour because all his appearances will be recorded in their entirety and emailed to ticket buyers after the show. He's intense live and this should make it all the more special. Whatever you choose, Thursday gets us one day closer to the weekend, and I'm sure we all can't wait for that.
